GROWING LIVESTOCK.
An Unborn Liking of the Calling Necessary
to Its Success.

An Unborn Liking of the Calling Necessary
to Its Success.
Many men take up an avocation for
which they are lily adapted and fail to-
tally or partially in their undertaking;
and is it not safe to say that by far the
smallest number take up the business
for which they are especially, by natur-
al talent and taste. fitted? An instinct
i've liking for livestock is shown by
the young person, simply because this
tendency is born in him or her, as the
case may be. No education can instill
this into the mind so that taste will
be developed there equal to the Unborn
liking-the innate feeling that there
are peculiarities in domestic animals
that the highest minds can admire.
This Unborn liking. united to the requis-
lite talent for guiding breeding opera
tions, forms the genius for growing
improved domestic animals, and there
can be no genius worth the name,
without the two tendencies are con-
joined in the one individual.
In rearing, handling and driving
horses, no man can succeed fully unless
he likes the horse, is in full sympathy
with him. and the horse likewise IN
full sympathy with the master. There
are men who seem to have natural
liking for horses, not in general terms
but more properly for particular classes
of horses; one man admlrlng
